Abstract: Abstract Natal dispersal is assumed to be a particularly risky movement behavior as individuals transfer, often long distances, from birth site to site of potential first reproduction. Though, because this behavior persists in populations, it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2204400119
Abstract: Significance The diversity of ungulates in African savannas has inspired generations of biologists to investigate how similar species coexist, which requires that each be limited by different factors. Resource partitioning is key to understanding this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2021.2702
Abstract: Amidst global shifts in the distribution and abundance of wildlife and livestock, we have only a rudimentary understanding of ungulate parasite communities and parasite-sharing patterns. We used qPCR and DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples to… read more here.
